Cover Reveal: Jameson by Nicole James

Jameson

A Brothers in Ink novel

COVER REVEAL

3/24/16

Jameson O’Rourke owns the primo tattoo shop in town, one he’s worked hard to build. And in his industry, he’s the current ‘it’ boy, the reigning King of Ink. His career is on fire, so hot television has even come calling. And as a result, the town bad-boy has now become the town’s favored son.

Ava Hightower needs his face on her flyers, if she is to have any hope of her charity gala and bachelor auction being a success. Unfortunately, they get along like oil and water. He’s a hardheaded, controlling jerk, and she’s already had one run-in with the man. Asking him, of all people, for help is the last thing she wants to do.

Not exactly a match made in heaven.

Jameson doesn’t think too highly of Miss Hightower, either.

To him, she’s just an uptight, stuck-up know-it-all; a little Miss Goody-two-shoes. Not in a million years was she the type that he’d have anything to do with. Unfortunately she is also on the city council, and therefore has the ability to screw with his business.

He needed her help once before, and she shot him down.

Now the tables are turned, and she needs his help. Well, my, my, sweetheart, karma can be a cold-hearted bitch.

But, hey, maybe he could work this to his advantage.

You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours, and all that crap.

So they cut a deal. One he has no intention of ever having to fulfill, because he plans to make it impossible for her to keep her end of it.

She thought she could outlast him. Guess again, sweet thing. She may be a stubborn woman, but she’s met her match. And he has no intention of letting her win this game.

Be warned, sweetheart, because the King of Ink has plans to push your limits in ways you’ve never imagined.

Synopsis 

Knox “Takedown” MacArthur was a good Southern boy until he moved to Vegas to pursue MMA fighting.

The cage, the victories, the money, changed him.

What little good is left hangs on by a thread.

But then he walks into a strip club and spots her…

Mila Greene was destined for great things, but then her parents died and she was left to care for her eleven year old sister.

Stripping was fast easy money and eventually she forgot about her dreams.

Keeping her sister from following in her footsteps is her only focus until he walks into her club…

When these two broken souls come together, fires will ignite. Will they be burned, or can they protect themselves from the heat?


My Thoughts

Stories about MMA fighters are one of my favorites as they're a hotbed for tension and I just love the atmosphere surrounding them. And the fighters themselves are usually hot, hot, hot in so many ways! Knox certainly delivers on the hot factor and the sexy dirty talk, but that's really all this story has going for it. Mila was kind of annoying with her stance against Knox and what he was trying to do for her (yeah, we get it, you don't like owing people anything) and her wishy-washy attitude toward her sister. She took way too much of that girl's crap without comment and it really irritated me; she let her get away with far too much stuff due to their parents' passing - something she had no control over and couldn't change even if she wanted to - and I think that contributed to the girl's bratty attitude toward her. (I wanted to strangle the girl several times myself.) This made Mila come off as a real pushover and that only made things worse with the sister's attitude toward her.

Aside from that, the story was pretty good with one huge twist at the end that sets it up for the next part. Not going to spoil that here - you'll have to read it for yourself to find out what happens. Ironically, that's when this story actually gets interesting. Up until then, it was slow and predictable and I kept wondering why I was still reading it, but when the twist happened, I finally sat up a little straighter and took interest. Of course that's when it ended! Might have to check out the next part.

Release Day Blitz: True Love A Songbird Novel By Melissa Pearl

True Love

A Songbird Novel

By Melissa Pearl

Release Date: November 18, 2015

Synopsis 

One night can change everything…

Nessa Sloan has been in love with Jimmy Baker since the ninth grade when they started up a rock band together. Five years later they’re about to hit the big time—Chaos wins a recording contract and nation-wide tour with Torrence Records. After their celebration party, the two best friends have a one-night stand that will tear their relationship apart.

On the run from Jimmy’s rejection, Nessa takes off on her motorbike, but an accident brings her escape to a tragic end. Now trapped in a broken body, Nessa has to face a future stripped of the one thing that’s gotten her through every past challenge—playing the drums.

Jimmy never meant to break his best friend’s heart, and he will forever regret taking her to bed then treating her like one of his groupies. But once he’d crossed that line, he couldn’t go back. Now Jimmy is on a mission to do something he’s never done before—win a girl over.

Angry and confused by her new disability, Nessa doesn’t want Jimmy’s help. But she has nobody else to rely on…and his pigheaded ass won’t leave her alone. Can these two stubborn hearts get past their own insecurities to figure out what true love really looks like? Or will they drive each other crazy before they finally see the truth?

It’s infuriating, irresistable, and all-consuming…it’s true love.
